I hope to come back when it is finished and speak to you. As you know, we are interested in better homes for the American people to live in." During his brief stop the President took time to personally greet each committee member present. Dr. Wilks J King, Gammon Theological Seminary president, was chairman of the welcoming committee in the absence of President John Hope of Atlanta University. Others present included Presidents Archer and Read of Morehouse and Spelman, Principals Harper and Usher of Washington and Howard high schools. Dean Clinch of Morris Brown College and T. J.

Leonard Gordon, a student at the Armstrong High School is rapidly climbing the ladder of success as a singer. Gordon took a trip to New York City last week as the guest of the Howard Theatre, to compete against some of the outstanding amateurs upstate. As latest reports reach this columnist, it is said that the young man gained a great lead over his opponents. The contest is being held at the Harlem Opera House, in the heart of dear old Harlem in New York. Gordon, although handicapped by a crippled leg, gained success by capturing first place honors at local amateur nights held in several theatres here. He is a member of the Armstrong High School Glee Club and recently took a leading part in the "Seven Last Words," a saired cantata, under the direction of Ernest Amos and Mrs. Estelle P. Webster.

A, Fowlkes, of Newport News, Va., who has the follow- ing to say under the caption, “Back to the Campus”: As an ardent admirer and a close observer of football for a number of years, we have seen the tide ebb and flow, and, as usual, the ebb tide always leaves us high and dry. We think it's time for the tide to flow back to the CAMPUS and remain there until such a time as the public and the alumni shall demand its ebbing away again. We think that our boys shouid perfect themselves in their own backyards first, and then await the call to the metropolitan centers. But as soon us our coaches develop man who can differentiate between a lateral and a wing- back, or an off-tackle from a cross-buck, immediately he develops a bad case of New York-, Philadelphia- or Atlantic City-phobia. Consequently the home folks and the campus again are left high and dry, and very dry, too, for it’s a strain on the already insolvent athletic association to out- fit the teams and finance the trip. Oh well, you will hear them say, “We played in New York”; but what does New York know about, mean to, or care for the team? Or, “We got a trip.” Better take an off-day and visit the big city and observe a good football game, see somebody else in action, and learn some real foot- ball technique and strategy. , And why go to New York, or Atlantic City, or Phila- delphia? With the brand of football we now offer, it’s a cross between a colossal joke and a travesty. To use a colloquial expression, “We are lost in the stream,” and in a city that has no heart. Tne city gets the benefit from the team’s presence, for immediately everything mounts sky high and every other house is converted into a cabaret, and ‘we come away weaker but wiser. Generally, there is some other big attraction, the teams get “Ants in Their Pants,” the rabble gets a bad case of “stage-fright-itis,” there are too many “whoois” and too much “whatzis,” and the sports writers who cover the game (‘tis a pity 'tis true; ’tis true ’tis a pity) are con- struetively or destructively critical, to say the least to the ‘nth degree. It all depends upon your point of view. : “But such a tide, when moving seems asleep, too full for sound or foam; when that which dies without the bound- less deep turns again home.” So, iet us turn again toward the greensward of the good old home campuses, where townsmen meet and mingle with townsmen, and inspire the flaming youth that hopes to go io college, and thrill the “old grad,” and build up a love for alma mater and respect and appreciation for the noble efforts that the teams put forth under adverse circumstances. ; We shall not build up any traditions for our Negro schools with diabolical skip-stop systems. If we could ar- range to play some good white school, the financial end would be more lucrative, friendly rivalry would be keener, and social contacts would be better. But two Negro teams will not click at present in the hig cities. .__ Hampton and Union have built up a traditional friendly rivalry for a number of years with their annual Turkey Day set-to; but it was broken this year with a game in New York, leaving the home community and the students to whom they owe their loyalty and devotion without a chance to cheer them on to victory, or sorrow in defeat. i The annual game between Howard and Lincoln was Played in Atlantic City, which wasn't so hot, either—too far away from the seat of the institutions and too expensive to reach. This game should he played in Washington at the Howard Stadium, for Howard is one of the few Negro sehools that has a stadium that is a credit to the race. Tt seems to us that it should be played in Washington annually until such a time as Lincoln can build a stadium, and then they could rotate. But Lincoln would rather pay an enormous fee to some outside interests than concede to py the game in Washington when it’s her time to act as pus Mrefore we say by all means, BACK TO THE CAM- A Friend Asks Me Something I Find I’m Unable to Answer S’ Heip Me TWELVE Cato W.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Barrington Parker, D C Youth, Plays Last Game As Lion Captain Son of Washington Minister One of Five Former Dunbar Players on Lincoln Team; Howard Boasts of Eighteen District Members Lincoln's team boasts of five Washington players, all former Dunbar High School stars, while the Howard squad has 18 District players on its roster, 13 of whom learned the fundamentals of the pigskin game under Coach Charlie Pinderhughes at Dunbar and five of whom first romped on the gridiron for Armstrong High School. The five players on the Lion squad are Eugene Minns, Martin Pree, Oliver Beckwith, Charles Boggs and Barrington Parker, the latter son of the Rev. George A. Parker, assistant pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Young Parker is perhaps the most outstanding of the group of District favorites, being captain of the Lincoln eleven and playing his last game as a wearer of the Orange and Blue. Parker, 150-pound quarterback; is 20 years old and playing his fourth year on the squad. He is a good runner; passes with accuracy and blocks well. Besides being captain of the grid team, he is a member of the track team and an honor student. He graduated from Dunar High School in 1923. Pree Understudy Martin Pree, 175-pound junior, is Parker's understudy at the signal-barking position. Pree has been on the squad for three years, is a very good pass receiver and adept at returning punts. He is also captain of the basketball quint. He received his diploma from Dunbar as an honor student in 1933. Eugene Minns, an ex-teammate of Pree, is playing at fullback position. Minns weighs 180 pounds, and is one of the best defensive players on the team. He has been on the squad three years. The other two District boys, Charles Boggs and Oliver Beckwith, are freshmen and alternate at center. Both weigh 160 pounds and have shown ability to date. Howard's D.C. representatives are headed by the diminutive La Verte Armstrong, sophomore quarterback on the Bison eleven; Berry Williams, fleet halfback; Justin Plummer, powerhouse fullback, and Cedric Benedict Jessus. 160-pound guard. Armstrong, a former Dunbar star, weighs only 155, but has been a tower of strength on the Bison team throughout the season. He was converted into a quarterback from halfback at the outset of the season when last year's regular signal-caller was declared ineligible, and has held the job without substitution. Williams, a 10-second dash man, is the first former Armstrong THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD CUP WINNER Joe Louis and Jimmy Braddock, white, the former considered by many to be the real world's heavyweight champion, the latter recognized as official title-holder, meet at the Brown Bomber's Pompton Lakes, N.J., training camp.

He is a fast man and a sensation on long, sweeping end plays. He tips the scales at a lowly 139 pounds. Plummer; who has been suffering with a knee injury since early September, has not shown the power at fullback he demonstrated in last year's play. It was not until the West Virginia game in late October that he was able to see action. Jessup, 20-gear-old guard was outstanding on the Bison line during the early season games, but failed to keep the pace, and recently has been cast into the role of a substitute. However, he is only a freshman on the squad. Contee, Fenwick Star Mention must be made of three of last year's stars on the Poet eleven: Francis Fenwick; 185-pound end; Howard Contee; 175-pound tackle; and Dennett Harrod, 187-pound pivotman. All three played outstanding roles on Coach Pinderhughes's 1934 eleven at Dunbar, and, continuing their good work, made the team at Howard in the freshman year. Contee and Harrod, former backfield men, have been converted into linemen and have done well at the positions, particularly Contee, who has held a regular tackle post since the second game of the year. Other District Boys on the Bison roster are: James R. Brack, halfback; Charles K. Florence, guard; Edgar Lee, end; Robert E. Lee, end; Joseph P. Martin, guard; William L. Porter, halfback; Irving V.

It is the third successive time that the Detroit Dynamiter has selected Dr. Joseph Bier's camp here as the site for his training preparations for a fight in the East. Louis and his party arrived at Pompton Lakes late last week. A day of rest was followed by the Bomber's getting down to work for his meeting with Paulino Uzcdun at Madison Square Garden, December 13. Spars Five Rounds Spars Five Rounds Joe boxed five rounds with three sparring partners as he opened his training. He knocked out Vincent Parrille of South America in the second round. Later he boxed two rounds with Lou Poster, of New York. Mickey Taylor, shifty Jersey City light-heavy, was Louis's finishing-off workout. Louis prepared for his fight with Max Baer at this same spot. He had previously used Dr. Bier's camp to make ready for his go with Primo Carrera.

JACKSON HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—A quick survey of the movie situation in Hollywood points to a definite return of the Negro fad in pictures, theatre, and floor show entertainment. Motion picture releases that only, never mentioned the name of colored players are now breaking right down on the color question. They're even warring over who started the color fad and how high the rising tide of color will reach before studios wake up to the fact that Negroes constitute one of the greatest entertainment sources in America. Credit Bill Pine and his staff of writers of Paramount for this special story of "New Film Tolerance." "Sociological experiments are by no means the purpose of film-making, and the few daring souls who have invaded this most controversial of all fields have met with disastrous failure. "Yet there is a tendency in 1935 to depart somewhat from the standardized forms of screen literature and to liberalize this media to conform to modern tolerances and thoughts. "The first to make signal progress in this regard was Director King Vidor several years ago when he made the first all-Negro picture, "Hallelujah," which must go down as the most daring of all cinematic enterprises. Withdraw Color Line "Since then there has been a marked decrease in that form or tolerance which specializes in the drawing of color lines, and your colored performer of merit now shares marque distinction with the whites. "Recently, Vidor induced Daniel Haynes to leave the cast of the Broadway presentation of "The Green Pastures" to play an important pivotal role in Paramount's "So Red the Rose." The significant thing about this selection is that Haynes, certainly a leading colored actor, receives billing second only to Margaret Sullivan, Randolph Scott and Janet Beecher. "While 'Hallelujah' marks the birth of this new age of cinematic tolerance, it received its greatest impetus on the occasion when Louise Beavers made her tremendous impression in 'Imitation of Life.' "This performance placed the colored dramatic player on a high professional standard which they had never before enjoyed. It allowed for the casting in important roles of great Negro artists such as Clarence Muse, who also appears in 'So Red the Rose': Paul Robeson, Stepin 'Fetchit and others who play minor roles with a new respect on the part of the producers." This obviously well-meaning, controversial essay on the history of the Negro's rise in films escapes a few tects that should be cleared up for the benefit of all concerned. Experiment a Debate Rome was not built in a day. Neither did the Negroes in motion pictures start with the advent of "Halleujah" and Muse an "Fecrit. Whether the work of Muse and Fecrit ani the host of other performers contributing to the race's share in the industry and box office returns—dollars and cents to you and me—accruing from films using colored talent that slummed on the boulevards and made up their deficits in the nickelodeons where Negro patrons flocked to see the dark players, should be termed a "sociological experiment," is of course, a choice morsel for debate. And I present this article above for just that purpose. It is only fair for King Vidor to give Haynes equal billing with Sullavan in "So Red the Rose." Haynes probably deserves the spot and only the gossest violation of theatre ethics would have billed him otherwise. Ethics or race prejudice. Point is that such a patronizing attitude on the part of Vide. Paramount or anyone else perpetrating he thought that we should be so very grateful for what is rightfully earned, shocks the intelligence and self-respect of right-thinking movie fans, white and black-alike. Stars Overlooked We overlook altogether the hundreds of unsung heroes of motion pictures. Negro extras, who have added color and thrills to cinema. It is not with the thought of minimizing the efforts of Fechit and Muse and Vidor and Paramount to raise the standard of THE DANCE OF THE DAY "I Live My Life," Joan Crawford's latest starring vehicle, will be the screen attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for a week beginning today (Friday). Brian Aherne co-stars. colored talent in pictures, that we mention a new googon facts related to the race in hips. It is, however, to get the public and air. Vicoor straight on the Negro's angle and break down the patronizing attitude of blacks and whites who, after finding ones work profitable, sit back and say, "Look what I've done for you." The Negro's place in the cinematic sun may not, after all, be so much a matter of "sociological experiment" as it is histrionic accomplishment and the picture public's sanction in dollars and cents of that fact. The Negro motion picture performer's high professional standing and recognition has been the result of years of hard fight and hard work by the Negro performer himself. Rest assured that Hollywood has not an ounce of altruistic blood in its veins. And that gecs for directors and producers of motion pictures. Aline MacMahon The star and director who collaborated with such success to make forsaking All Others are again united in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's new vehicle for the famous actress, "I Live My Life," which starts at the Lincoln Day. Brian Aherne, the English actor who played opposite Helen Hayes in "What Every Woman Wins," is Joan Crawford's leading man in the virile role of a hard-boiled archaeologist who falls in love with a society girl. Frank Morgan appears as Joan Crawford's father in a role similar to the one he played in "Naughty Marietta." Aline MacMahon, the "Brooklyn Duse," is prominently cast in the humorous part of the "other girl." Eric Blore, the eccentric waiter of "Gay Divorcee," is the omnipresent butler in the new picture. Fred Keating, the Broadway star recently seen in "The Captain Hates the Sea," plays the archaeologist's rival. Also in the giant cast line-up are: Jessie Ralph, Arthur Treacher, Hedda Hopper, Frank Conroy, Etienne Girardot, Edward Brophy, Sterling Holloway and others of like stature. The picture is based on A. Carter Goodloe's prize-winning short story, "Claustrophobia," and deals with the romance of a sophisticated debutante and a horny-handed young archaeologist. The drama hinges on his efforts to live a skyscaper life in New York in order to be near the girl he loves, and its eventual effect on him. Howard Theatre Managemen to Hold Shoe Fund Show A special midnight show for the benefit of nedy children will be staged by the management of the Howard Theatre on December 18, it was announced by Shep Allen, manager, early this week. Manager Allen is at present engaged in listing a number of headliners who have indicated they will help to make the show successful in every respect. The Howard has been assured that these stars believe the giving of shoes to needy children this time of the year is a most worthy cause and that the theatrical world will do all in its power to put the benefit over.

The picture will run in conjunction with the stage attraction headed by Lucky Millinder and the Mills Blue Rhythm Orchestra. On Stage On Screen The Howard will present on its stage, beginning Friday, one of the finest shows of the year, and your writer doubts whether there has ever been one to surpass it.

Republic Wiliam Powell Kosalind Kussell "Rendezvous" is the startling, dramatic story of the U.S. cryptographic bureau as told by the man who organized and neared it throughout the World War, and will be the attraction at the republic Theatre for an entire week, starting Friday. Based upon Major Herbett O. Yardley's sensational best-seller, "The American Black Chamoor," it is crammed with the intimate revelations of the secret counterespionage department, where foreign diplomatic or enemy communications were secretly 'tapped," decoded and deciphered for official information. Through this amazing tale of codes and cliphers, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has woven a romance with William Powell as the chief cryptographer and Rosalind Kussell Powell, as a puzzle editor on a metropolitan newspaper, has, enlisted in the army to fight in France when he is pulled off the transport and thrust into the "Black Chamber" work at Washington. Through his genius in dissecting secret codes, he quickly becomes head of the famous rounter-espionage work for the United States. Rosalind Russell, in her role as Joel Carter, the daughter of the assistant secretary of war, has achieved the Hollywood miracle of appearing in nine pictures during her nine months as a screen actress and of rising from a comparatively unknown "bit" player to a leading woman in less than a year.

"Personal Maid's Secret" Margaret Lindsay Warren Hull Ruth Donnelly "Personal Maid's Secret," the new Warner Brothers drama, opens at the Booker T Theatre Friday for an entire week, with Margaret Lindsay. Warren Hull, Anita Louise and Ruth Donnelly in the stellar roles. The picture is based on a story by Lillian Day which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. It is a rare and novel tale of a struggling New York family ambitious to get ahead, but lacking the proper contacts. The head of the family, though a man of ability and personality, is so intent on watching the family budget that he fears to launch out into the bigger affairs of life. His wife has a greater courage and starts the ball rolling by engaging a maid. The maid has worked for many wealthy families, and makes it her business to see that her employers come into contact with the proper persons who can bring them business.

Dunbar Dunbar "The Live Wire" Dick Talmadge "Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!" Or any sea chanty is appropriate to broadcast with the statement that Richard, better known as Dick to filmdom at large, Talmadge fills the role of the gallant son of the sea in his new picture, the Bernard B. Ray release, "The Live Wire," which will be shown at the Dunbar Theatre, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It may be admitted from the start that he finds the marine route jut to his liking. There's mighty rough traveling both afloat and ashore, the picture is hardly under way before Dick is involved in a fist brawl in a sailor's waterfront hangout; there's fighting trouble when he is aboard ship, followed by a fire, a wreck and finally quarters on a deserted island, with a lost city in the interior and a swell, savage rough-and-tumble battle which REPUBLIC 1343 YOU STREET, N.W.

Which is exactly the sort of action that suits the star down to the ground. No stunt man ever lived who could equal Talmadge for recklessness and ability to get away with extraordinary feats of strength and agility. He was born in Switzerland, December 3, 1898. His first work in pictures consisted in doubling for noted stars whenever there was some unusually dangerous trick to be executed which required nerve, suppleness and muscles of steel. Many a male star of the past won an undeserved reputation as an athlete and miracle of bravery because his admirers credited him with death-dodging performances for which Talmadge was really responsible. Andrew Trible, Female Impersonator, Expires BALTIMORE — Andrew H. Tribble, one of the first Negroes to gain fame as a female impersonator, died here last week after a short illness.

After retiring from active work he was a successful producer. 1215 YOU STREET. N.W.

J. UNDERTAKER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Reported To Have Taken Fluid After Death of His Mother JERSEY CITY, N. J. — Isaac Murray, 27, prominent mortician, of 748 Ocean Avenue, was reported recovering this week from the effects of a large dose of cleaning fluid which he is said to have taken in an attempt to commit suicide. Last Wednesday. The alleged suicidal attempt occurred shortly after his mother, Sara Green, died in Medical Center, as the result of illness. Rumor that Murry had desired to take his life because of family trouble were denied by police who asserted that the action had come as the result of the shock of his mother's death, coming on top of the strain from constant traveling which has been caused by his business. According to Banks, the Murry chauffeur, the undertaker had been in the house all day and had been conferring on businesses. Banks said that he went to the next floor of the house for a brief while and when he returned found Murry on the floor of the room adjoining the office. Rushed to the Medical Center, Murry was given rapid treatment which together with the fact, as asserted by the doctors, that the dose taken was not large enough to be instantaneously fatal is believed to have saved his life. The alleged suicide attempt marks the third occurrence in a series of happenings to the Murry family, which have aroused considerable comment in local circles. The suddenness of Mrs. Green's death has been the subject of much shocked comment by neighbors who are prone to regard it as a most unfortunate accident CIAA Conference Set for Charlotte Next Week CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The twenty-fifth annual conference of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held at the Johnson C.

(Magdala is about 40 miles northwest of Dessay, and something less than 150 miles dmue South of Makale, where the Italian front lines are located.) Battle Looms Italian officers predicted the long-awaited major battle would be fought soon. In one clash southwest of Makale, at Debri, four Italian white soldiers were killed, and there was another encounter on the western end of the front near tre Takkaze River. The Ethiopian northern army, reinforced by regular troops from Addis Ababa, equipped in European style, appeared determined to give battle in an attempt to turn the Takkaze River.

"We Are in Perfect Harmony in Mississippi," Says Committeeman MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—Arriving here from the Elks' five-state conference held in Greenville, Miss., recently, Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser for that order and a member of the law firm of Cobb, Howard and Hayes, in Washington, denied there was any truth in published rumors of dissension in the ranks of his constituency in Mississippi. Howard, Republican national committeeman for that state, declared: "We are all in perfect harmony in Mississippi, more than ever before; and the published statement that there is anything like dissension brewing, is a malicious lie. I spent many pleasant days in the home of the Redmonds in Jackson, used the offices of Lawyer Moon for my headquarters, and at the Elk gathering was introduced by E. P. Booze and was responded to by Fred M. Miller—all of whom have been mentioned as opposing me. The common note struck by them was that I am the greatest political leader the state has ever had, and all pledged their unstinted support." The former Department of Justice official under Hoover, who visited here with Bob Church, asserted he spent most of his time in the state conferring with political co-workers, getting things in condition for state conventions and re-organizing machinery for the next four years. article, a picture of living conditions among Negroes in New York's Harlem. The Interior Secretary said: Conditions in N. Y. "In New York City, with its savage climate, there are thirty thousand tenements with no heat and two thousand with no plumbing — that is, with outside toilets. In the basement of such a building in Harlem, ten families are living. Each family has a small stall, the size of a coal bunker in a suburban house. The stalls are open at the end, and of course, there is neither heat in winter nor air in summer. Near the middle of the basement is a small square place where the floor is made of brick. Here all the families do their cooking, building a fire on the floor, trusting to luck that it will not burn down the house. There are no washing facilities, of course, and no toilet. "In a similar building nearby, lives a very old Negro woman, in a cubby-hole all to herself. The house is several stories high above her little room, yet in bad weather she has to keep an umbrella upsheltering as much as possible of her chair and table from the water that drips through the ceiling. She is a kindly, philosophic, old woman; yet she might make a rude remark if told that an editor of the Chicago Tribune thought her creature comforts were superior to those of Louis XIV. Down and Out "These people represent very fairly the families' toward the lower end of the scale in America today.' They are well above the bottom of the scale. They are ICKES THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIUAI, DECEMBER 6, 1935 more appropriate and your year's subscription to Tribune?

They do not even belong to that group of about twenty-two million Americans who are on some form of public relief. With the exception of the old woman, who has passed the working age, they are men and women with jobs. Being Negroes, and therefore compelled by social pressure to live in a Negro district, their white landlords cheat them pitilessly. Instead of paying twenty-five per cent of their income in rent (which is normal for white families in such circumstances) the Negroes in Harlem, often have to pay as high as forty-eight per cent. So their standard of living is lower than it need be if they were treated with justice. On the other hand, they have jobs — which puts them at once among the lucky ones in America today. But still they live in a cold and airless sky. And it is not wise of us to run over our country on the pretense that people like this are mighty lucky to be so well treated." "From no possible point of view is the life of 'a family toward the lower end of the scale in America' good enough. It is not 'more comfortable and more healthful' than the life led by European potentates of a few centuries ago. It is not even 'emerging into a condition of prosperity comparable to that of the aristocracies of any previous age'. It is not, in plain fact, the sort of life which gives a man a fair chance to save his soul. The poor man in a decent society * * * * may possibly deserve the Biblical appellation of 'blessed'; the poor city-dweller in an industrial plutocracy is clearly cursed. He not only lacks comfort and security and hope, but his surroundings tend steadily to debauch him. Who but a saint can keep kindness or dignity or moral strength if he lives like an animal?" "Tumble-down Hovels" Describing the places where Negroes live in the various cities as "tumble-down hovels," in which a humane man would not kennel a dog" Mr. Ickes scored the owners of the tenement houses for charging a "disproportionate rental." Detroit citizens came in for their share of criticism by the Interior Secretary for opposing his low-cost housing project for that city, to the extent that it might become necessary to transfer the slum clearance project to another city. Those who are opposing the Detroit project, Mr. Ickes said, have the idea that "the founding fathers who were willing to sacrifice both life and property to give us life, liberty and happiness, deliberately wrote a constitution that condemned American citizens to live like animals." Free and Equal Free and Equal "And all the while the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. And all the while there are relatively fewer of the rich and relatively more of the poor. And all the while we never cease to boast of America as the land of the free and the home of the brave. And all the while, at least on every Fourth of July, our chests swell with self-conscious pride as the chosen orator sonorously read in ringing tones, those immortal words of Thomas Jefferson, 'all men are created free and equal,'" Mr. Ickes said.

Miss Doris Andrews, white supervisor, refused to allow the girls to go until the end of the week. November 15, as their services were needed at the Transient Bureau. Reed then offered to allow two of the girls to remain until the end of the week, if one was sent to him immediately. Miss Murphy asked Miss Andrews to be permitted to go immediately, but was informed that she must wait until the end of the week and that Reed had definitely promised the girls, that their jobs would not be jeopardized by this delay. On November 15, Miss Murphy was informed by Reed's secretary that no provision had been made for her transfer and all available openings had been filled; consequently there was no place for her, and that day was her last working day. Reed refused to talk to Miss Murphy personally, as did Miss Hill (through her secretary) director of the Public Assistance Division. When it was impressed upon the personnel manager of the Transient Bureau that letters of dismissal given the girls at Banneker Center Branch (because of the closing of the branch) had been cancelled, that the girls had in their possession letters cancelling their letters of dismissal, they were informed that it was "only a courtesy" of the Government to send a letter and no notice of dismissal is necessary. Promised Another Job In one of these letters. Miss Murphy was informed: "A complete record of your service and a resume of your application and qualifications will be transferred to the Personnel Replacement Division which has been set up under an order by the President that every effort be made to place you with some other governmental agency. This Personnel Replacement Division will make every possible effort to try to find further employment for you." Miss Murphy has been calling on the telephone or visiting the Personnel Replacement Division, every day since November 15. She was informed that there were no stenographic positions open. Last Friday Miss Murphy called and was told the same thing. That night she talked to a white girl—a former co-worker — who is registered in the Personnel Replacement Division as a clerk. The white girl informed Miss Murphy that every time she has been in the office, the cry has been "If you were only a stenographer, I could get you a job. We are just swamped with requests for stenographers." Fitted for the Work This girl also stated that she sat in Miss Murphy's, (white, head of the Replacement Division) office one day when a call came in for a stenographer and they had no one on the list who could go. Our Murphy had also been told that no stenographer could obtain a position from the Personnel Replacement Division who did not have a speed of 120 words a minute. When she informed her white clerical friend of this, the girl laughter and said, "That is not true. You could get a job if you can do 50." When the Tribune reporter visited Miss Mary Murphy's office, she insisted that there were no stenographic positions open, but when she was infroned of what she had previously told the white girl- she admitted that the difficulty lay in the fact that they were not able to place the colored stenographers as, government agencies calling in stated emphatically that they did not want a colored person Well Endorsed Miss Beatrice Murphy has been employed by the Public Assistance Division since 1932, has an excellent rating as a stenographer, and is qualified to do outstanding work. She has letters of recommendation from two of the supervisors under whom she has worked in the Transient Bureau (including Miss Andrews who held up her transfer), and the verbal recommendation of every supervisor under whom she has worked in the Public Assistance Division (who are not allowed to give written recommendations.) GETS APPOINTMENT C. Frederick Dixon was ap pointed superintendent of education, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes announced recently ARLINGTON COUNTY CITIZENS LAUNCH HOSPITAL DRIVE Freedmen's Hospital Head On Advisory Committee: Attorney Speaks "When an individual or a group of individuals can see an obligation and accept it in a fine spirit, that person or group of persons deserves not only the hearty commendation but also the serious consideration of any person or group of persons so fortunate as to be associated with him or it." With these words, Carleton K. Lewis, chairman of the county-wide campaign group attempting to raise funds for the proposed hospital in Arlington County, Va., accepted the organization pledges of the various groups Sunday, at a solemn service held at Mount Zion Baptist Church in East Arlington. Need $2,000 The pledge service sponsored by Unit 31 formally closed a two-weeks period of concentrated endeavor to raise a sum of money ($2,142.86) which will constitute the share of the Negro in this first year drive if he is to contribute effectively in terms of the population proportion. From all indications, this sum will be realized. The cash payment is due in four months or April 1. While the presentation of the pledges was the ceremony around which the service was built, 85 boys and girls contributed nobly to the impressiveness of the program by a word drill emphasizing such ideas as "Do your part;" "Service" "Cooperation and Loyalty make for Success;" and "Protect Our Little Ones." The young women of the county acted as ushers. The members of this Unit 31 are the following: Revs. Brooks, Callis, Catlett, Coleman, Green, LeGrange, Muse; Deacons Odom, Phillips and Richardson; Drs. Bruener, Butler, Drew, Morton, Porter; Messrs.

PRIZES AWARDED BUSINESS SCHOOL TYPING VICTORS A special contest held in the Cortez W. Peters Business School, to determine the accuracy as well as speed of students came to a close on November 27. This contest was held for the month of November and night students were required to write one minute speed tests. The contest was divided into three groups: beginners constituting Class C, students writing less than sixty words per minute constituting Class B, and students writing faster than sixty words per minute constituting Class A. The winner of Class A was Miss Belle Robinson. The winner of Class B was Miss Pauline Bush and the winner of Class C was Miss Oga Durham Two Tied A very intense and interesting situation arose when at the conclusion of the test Miss Pauline Bush and Miss Dorothy Stagrs were both tied with a total of 476 points. Inasmuch as no provision had been made for the awarding of duplicate prizes in the case of a tie, a write-off was arranged to determine the winner and students wrote perfect tests with Miss Bush having a margin of only two words which made her the winner. The winner in each class was given an attractive and useful prize. Congress Meets Feb. Following a meeting here at the Y.W.C.A. of the National Sponsoring Committee for the National Negro Congress, the date for the congress was set for February 9, in Chicago. A Phillip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was elected president; John P. Davis, of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, secretary; Marion Cuthbert, prominent leader of the Y.W.C.A. and the N.A.A.C.P. treasurer; Jos. H. B. Evans, national officer of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, assistant treasurer. Mrs. Nannie Burroughs, well known educational leader, was elected a member of the finance committee. James W. Ford, Communist leader and Mrs. Joseph H. B. Evans, were elected members of the Speaker Committee. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MRS. ROOSEVELT Miss Young guarded the entrance to the place of meeting after ejecting newsmen who had entered before the warning, and alleged to reporters and photographers that the President's wife had requested that no photographs be taken and no newspaper accounts be made of her appearance. When the news representatives were hesitant in leaving the building, she ordered Edward S. Hope, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds of Howard University, to call the police. Mr. Hope refused to do so. Feeling that Miss Young had misunderstood the alleged request of Mrs. Roosevelt, reporters sought the permission of the First Lady to cover her address. This was done immediately upon her arrival, as she was being escorted into the dormitory by Frederick Durrah and Robert Wilson, of the R.O.T.C. unit of the university. "No Objection" "I have no objection whatsoever," Mrs. Roosevelt said, in response to the pressmen's request. Just before entering the dormitory she very graciously posed for the cameraman as she stood between the two R.O.T.C. officers, detailed as escorts. Miss Young had previously said that the First Lady had made a "special request" that there be no photographs." Miss Childers Involved Miss Childers Involved Assisting Mrs. Young in ousting the reporters was Miss Lula V. Childers, of the university School of Music, who continuously demanded that they leave the building entirely. Informed that Mrs. Roosevelt had stated to the reporters that there was no objection on her part to a coverage of the meeting, several officers of the club went into a huddle with the First Lady, as they stood in the hall, which resulted in a statement to the reporters that the President's wife had "reconsidered" the matter and had "finally decided" that they could not be admitted. On Communism Apparently satisfied that the situation had been cleared, officers of the club eventually escorted Mrs. Roosevelt to the main lounge of Frazier Hall where she spoke for thirty minutes, taking as her subject, "The Good Life." Mrs. Roosevelt was introduced to the group by Miss Young. Music was furnished by Miss Carolyn Grant. Seated with the President's wife were Dean of Women Lucy D. Slowe, Miss Childers, Mrs. Mordecai W. Johnson, wife of the university president; and Miss Young. Gets Token At the conclusion of her address, Mrs. Roosevelt was presented with a bouquet of roses and an autographed book, by Miss Helen Harris, instructor in education at the university. The book was bound with a white satin cover and contained the autographs of the forty-five members of the club. It was designed by Miss Lois M. Jones, of the department of art. Following the presentation, members and guests filed by and shook hands with the First Lady. At the conclusion of the greeting, Mrs. Roosevelt sat down and chatted with members of the club for twenty minutes as ice cream and cake was served. Discourtesy Shown Mrs. Roosevelt came to the university in a White House car, accompanied by a chauffeur and footman, both of whom were allowed to stand in the lobby of the dormitory during the hour and a half that the First Lady was the guest of the university. The attendants were also ignored when refreshments were served. Only by insistence on the part of the newsmen were they given attention. "Is the way clear" Dean Slowe asked Mr. Hope, as Mrs. Roosevelt prepared to leave, volunteering that the First Lady had made a second "request" that no picture be taken of her departure. First Lady Unescorted Assured by the superintendent of buildings and grounds that the way was "clear," the President's wife was permitted to leave Frazier Hall, unprotected from the glare of flashlight cameras, and unescorted by any representative of the Women's Faculty Club, of which she was the guest. By the thoughtfulness of waiting newsmen, Mrs. Roosevelt was shown and escorted down the unfamiliar and difficult terraced stairway to her waiting car. Realizing the difficulty of holding the dormitory door open for the First Lady, and performing his duty of preceding her, at the same time, the footman requested a reporter to hold the door open for the President's wife, in the absence of any representative of the Women's Faculty Club. Apparently sensing the neglect on the part of the club to express appreciation for the First Lady's visit, the escorting newsmen expressed gratitude for her appearance at the meeting, as she got into her car and returned to the White House. JARVIS Church Leader to Be Tendered Testimonial In appreciation of his long, faithful and efficient service as an officer and leader in several departments of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Benjamin Washington, 936 S Street, Northwest, will be tendered a public testimonial at the church tonight (Friday). Among the many positions held by Mr. Washington at the church are teacher in the Sunday School, librarian, superintendent of the Sunday School, member of the trustee board, and director of the choir for the past thirteen years. Not only has Mr. Washington been a hard church worker, but he has been actively engaged in civic programs in Washington, and a teacher in the public schools for many years. He is now teaching in the Armstrong High School. A lover of sports of all kinds, Mr. Washington is an official of the C.I.A.A. sports, and is frequently called upon to interpret rules and regulations governing the various sports. MORNING GLORIES Mrs. Marie Wells and Mrs. Regina Mason entertained the club last week at Mrs. Wells's home, 1208 Fifth Street, Northwest. Those present included: Mrs. Susie Nichols, Mrs. Georgia Borden, Miss Mary Clark and Miss Alice Young. MRS. DREW (Continued from Page 1) she was attacked from ten to twelve times by her husband, she alleges. The first assault taking place, she claims, when she informed him that she was about to become a mother. She was forced to leave her husband in 1930, she states in her petition, when he stuck her three times with a chair, and forced her into the street in her night clothes. Beat Again After a conference with her attorney, she alleges, a compromise was reached with her husband whereby he promised to refrain from assaulting her. For the sake of her child, she said, she returned to him, only to be a victim of his alleged onslaughts. Stayed Out Late During March, April, May and June of 1933, the petition sets forth, Drew insisted on remaining away from home for several days and nights at a time. Mrs. Drew alleged that her husband, employed as a monotype operator in the Government Printing Office, earns a salary of $245 per month, and asked, in a separate petition, temporary alimony pending the outcome of her petition for a limited divorce. Husband Arrested Hearing on the application was held last Monday, before Justice Jennings Bailey, and an order issued by the court to Drew, to pay his wife $65 a month temporary alimony, payments to be made bimonthly, at the office of the wife's attorney. The husband was ordered to make the first payment December 3. When leaving the Supreme Court Building where the hearing was held, Mrs Drew alleged that her husband threatened to kill her and had him arrested on a warrant charging threats.

Communism Exonerated At first it was openly charged that the outbreak had been planned and provoked by the activities of the members of the Communist party in Harlem. On this question the committee has this to say: "We are now in a position to report, first, that the outburst was spontaneous and unpremeditated; second, that it was not a race riot in the sense of being a physical connect between persons of the white and colored groups; third, that it was not instituted by the Communists, though they sought to profit by it and circulated a false and misleading leaflet after the riot was well under way; fourth, that the work of the police was by no means beyond criticism; and fifth, that this sudden breach of the public order was the result of a highly emotional situation among the colored people in Harlem due, in a large part, to the nervous strain of years of unemployment and insecurity. To this must be added their deep sense of wrong through discrimination against their employment in stores which live chiefly upon their purchases, discrimination against them in the school system and by the police, and all the evils due to dreadful overcrowding, unfair rentals and inadequate institutional care. It is probably that their justifiable pent-up feelings, that they were and are the victims of gross injustice and prejudice, would sooner or later have brought about an explosion. Police Scored After reviewing the incidents that led up to the riot, the report points out that the slowness of police officials to sense the temper of the people was in no small measure responsible for the disorder that followed. The report said, "Nothing more alarming has been developed in the hearings held than the intensity of the feeling against the police." Referring to the shooting of Lloyd Hobos, a high school student who was returning home from the movies when the rioting broke out and was fatally shot by a patrolman when he ran away, the committee said: "There is not the slightest evidence that Lloyd Hobbs, who was 16 years of age, or his brother had ever been engaged in any improper activities. They were sons of a family of good standing and upright character....It seems to the committee that/ the shooting was inexcusable. The record of Lloyd Hobbs and that of his family are presumptive evidence that he was not the kind of boy who would engage in looting. Even granting that the boy was guilty as charged by the policeman, it must be noted that there was no public disorder at the time to call for violent action; a life should not have been taken for the offense. "The gravity of this case and the grave effect it has laid upon the Harlem community make it, in our judgment, essential not only that Commissioner Valentine should himself investigate the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 THRE happenings, but that proper warnings should be issued to the police not to use their revolvers unless thoroughly justified by the emergency and the character of the man they are pursuing." Housing The investigation of causes of the root had not been long under way when it became apparent that a study of the underlying cause would be necessary; and so, subcommittees on housing, the nosi- pital situation, etc.; were appointed. The committee on housing found great complaint and consider- ble distress in the practices surrounding evictions. They made the following recomesdsations: 1. That legislation be en acted to give judges power to stay evictions. 2. Decent notice before eviction. 3. The right of tenants to use as a defense against an eviction proof of a landlord's promise to repair. 4. The deposit of rents during such times as violations have been filled, the use by the city of such funds for curing violations. 5. That legislation be enacted holding not only the equity owners, responsible, but placing subject to the arm of the law all those who have direct or indirect control over properties. 6. The immediate enactment of legislation making it unlawful for owners to discriminate in the leasing or selling of home space on the grounds of race, creed or color. LEWIS snown his hand plainly and the organization, which according to its constitution is supposed to protect the laborers in this country has backed him up whoe-heartedly. Negro leaders now should be aware of the fact that if the Negro is to "find a way out" he has to look for another outlet Predicted Lewis's Leadership The great union labor leader of this day is President John L. Lewis of the United Mineworkers, an industrial union—one that comprises all the various crafts of the industry in an autonomous union under one executive and administrative direction, in striking contrast to the craft unions adherence to which destroyed the A.F. of L. I wrote a year ago that within five years Brother Lewis would lead the Mineworkers Union, backbone of the A.F. of L. to lead the organizations of the new industrial dispensation last week, and it is reasonable to expect that the next convention of the Mineworkers will decide to withdraw from the A.F. of L. President Lewis "made" William Green president of the A.F. of L. Green was Lewis's secretary-treasurer of the Mineworkers' when the vacancy left by the death of President Samuel Gompers had to be filled. Finding out that he could not get the presidency himself, Lewis put the Mineworkers behind Green, and made him Gompers' successor. Green has been annually reelected president ever since. Negroes Are Real Members Negro miners within the active sphere of the United Mineworkers are members thereof as members, and not as Negroes; which latter is their status in so many of the A.F. of L. craft unions, particularly the Brotherhood Rail Carmen—which sets out in its constitution that colored locals cannot be autonomous but shall be represented in presentation of grievances and in conventions by "WHITE men only." None of that in John L. Lewis's union. But whatever the type of union organization is of and by workers. This is exomatic, and while race leaders would be treated courteously by the labor union chiefs only a worker or workers can prevail; and that is why we now read so much of the race leaders' complaints of getting "sidetracked" by the A.F. of L, when in the last convention in Atlantic City in October they made their pleas for unionization of colored workers. "Organized" Labor Union labor chiefs are the hard-hitten workers-successors to harder-bitten labor leaders upped from the ranks of and by their fellows; with scant patience for professional representatives and no respect for workers who sit around waiting for others to "organize" them. Organized labor was organized by labor. Organized labor leaders are not race leaders—whether white or black. The field is categoric of requirements, and permits of no generality of leadership. The new dispensation will be no less intolerant of race representatives of ought-to-be organized colored workers than the "demised" A.F. of L. was which now, that Lewis has puked out, may seek a foil in colored workers through "race" leadership.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 Enemies Within the Lines No war between parties determined to dominate and others trying to secure freedom and security ever was free of enemies within the lines. That is a reflection of life itself. In the midst of the fight to live we are confronted by death. But the "Conquest of Fear" is the beginning of progress. Fortunately for men, they have the means at hand to overcome their one enemy. It was truly said, "Know the truth and it will make you free." Of what? Ignorance, of course, for that breeds fear, superstition, inertia, apathy and the whole host of enemies behind the lines. By simply asking questions with the eyes, sense of touch, ears, skin, hair, nails, tongue and the like, men may get and have acquired knowledge of the real outside world. Patiently through centuries men have passed on that accumulated knowledge as ammunition against death.

By simply asking questions with the eyes, sense of touch, ears, skin, hair, nails, tongue and the like, men may get and have acquired knowledge of the real outside world. Patiently through centuries men have passed on that accumulated knowledge as ammunition against death. Tools, machines, scientific aids, medicines. arts and industries have piled up the force against force to mountainous proportions. Records of human behavior have been left through the ages by picture, tower and book. We have it all around and before us, but we stand paralyzed by the possibility of hunger, or chill, or we lie disabled while striving to work, or walk around crippled because of failure somewhere or somehow to apply the knowledge. WHY? Because everything dead generations of men have accumulated is held in ownership by someone else. Held by a few in reality, and they demand certain tokens in exchange for it. If you have them not, you must die. When the owners die, they leave it to their heirs, to start off with advantages which you may never have. This system has grown with the years. Men have but slowly learned to organize and combine their forces to combat it and assure themselves a decent chance in the battle of life. Surely a race of people that will not read, will not listen, that adds from its own superstition some error to every fact it takes, that places pride, anger, ambition for some foolish end, and envy of every stem made by others of its one blood and tradition, is condemned before it starts. We out-preach any minister, out-prescribe any doctor, out-plan any engineer, out-scheme any financier, out-run any imaginary danger and out-sit any permanent object on earth. Having been freed by a combination of circumstances with which some of us combined, we so love bondage that we refuse to free ourselves from the only slavery—ignorance; and the ignorance that is our greatest enemy is the belief that we know.

There is a war on, and either we side with those who are fighting to make America a better and more secure place in which to live, or we are doomed. Senator Borah Press and citizens were caught napping and woke in surprise when "Bluffer" Bill Borah boldly announced that he would veto any anti-lynching bill, if he were president. The Senator is a Constitutionalist, and also consistent. He argued that the Fifteenth Amendment ought to be repealed, before one of our mass meetings. He thinks in terms of an America of the horseback riding days. He represents one of the wealthiest states of the Union, with each person worth over $4,000, along with the dwellers in Nevada, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota and Montana. The Senator has a constituency of over four hundred thousand native whites, thirty thousand foreign-born residents and only 600 colored. Hence he thinks as any white man thinks undisturbed about the Negro question. The Senator thinks as any man does, of any color, who knows what America means and fails to understand people calling themselves American citizens and standing idle while other men lunch them to death as a class. No Westerner understands that kind of citizenship. Out beyond the stale air of older civilization men feel and act as Patrick Henry spoke in 1776: "Is life so sweet or peace so dear as to be purchased at the price of chains?" I care not who other men may think; give me liberty or give me death!" Senator Borah thinks of law as governing disputes about property, not about granting to men attributes which The Senator thinks as any man does, of any color, who knows what America means and fails to understand people calling themselves American citizens and standing idle while other men lunch them to death as a class. No Westerner understands that kind of citizenship. Out beyond the stale air of older civilization men feel and act as Patrick Henry spoke in 1776: "Is life so sweet or peace so dear as to be purchased at the price of chains? I care not what other men may think; give me liberty or give me death!" Senator Borah thinks of law as governing disputes about property, not about granting to men attributes which they breathe with the air, and without which they, after fighting, would be willing to die. Senator Borah, like Coriolanus in one of Shakespeare's plays, cannot think of men who pray for deliverance "with arms in their hands," nor plead for the vote and protection against murderers in places where they outnumber the perpetrators of the deeds. Colored citizens ought to know when to cry out loud about flagrant denial of privileges, such as adequate schools and decent civic conditions which other men are paid to administer for the whole people, and when to call in their neighbors and do gun-battle to the death in defense of their rights purchased by blood and sacrifice. No wonder they do not understand how daughters shoot white fathers and sons; likewise, mothers, sons and husbands and wives, all around us in America. That is the white man's native reaction to invasion of private rights in his life. That is the reason for the coroner and the coroner's jury, and that is what is denied the Negro when lynched. It is thus white men kill "dogs," but not weaponless and defenseless white men. An anti-lynching bill will not be worth the paper to print it. The Concitation gives men all the rights they need. American Negroes need to learn the lesson taught by the Hebrews both in the Bible and in Germany: "Go forward to fulfill the destiny that is within you, leaving the final outcome to Jahweh!"

It is true Eugene Kinckle Jones is adviser on Negro affairs in the Department of Commerce, but Mr. Jones's place has been fixed by the American tradition and that great enslaving complex which states that the Negro's place is in a certain spot, and he must stay within it. Roosevelt's New Deal offers no solution to the Negro's problem, for it seeks to please all elements and hurt none. It seeks to reconcile all extremes and make the bad lie down in pleasant dreams with the good. Furthermore, the Negro problem does not concern American Presidents, and Roosevelt is no different from any of the rest. They will appoint Negroes to small positions, but only as compensation for soliciting Negro votes and controlling the Negro masses. It is not necessary for any of them to go out of the traditional way to help Negroes because Negroes have never been a real problem in America. They will appoint Negroes to small positions only to hush them up, and it is very easy to hush Negroes. There is a black cabinet in the present administration composed of Robert L. Vann, assistant to the Attorney General; Dr. William J. Thompson, recorder of deeds, and Lawrence A. Oxley. All of these men won their way there by getting Negro votes for the Democratic party, and whatever they do they must keep their eyes upon the powers which put them there, even though it may be against their own people. When Arthur D. Mitchell succeeded DePriest. Negroes centered their attention on him. He was the first Negro Democratic Congressman. Surely, there was something he could do! But imagine their surprise when Mitchell said: "A great number of us have the idea to raise a rough-house in the District of Columbia; but our first duty is to make friends there, and my duty is to make as good a Congressman as there is in Washington. I did not go to the District of Columba to make a lot of noise, regardless of what the half-baked, half-informed say... I want to make a correction. I don't want any of you to get the idea that I represent a colored district in Chicago. It's a mistake to believe that I am in Congress to represent my race." This may not be a serious matter with Mr. Mitchell, but Negroes think so. Furthermore, Mitchell, like most Negroes in politics, is extremely reactionary, and he is now wasting his time bombarding the communists.

President Roosevelt has stated that as soon as possible the burden of relief and unemployment will be relegated to the states where, under normal circumstances, they belong. President Hoover makes the handling of relief by the Federal government the basis of sharp criticism of the New Deal which he contends, supplants rugged individuality by regimentation which cuts the nerve of initiative and enterprise. Even the bitterest partizan will not affect to doubt that it was necessary for the Federal government to undertake this task in the midst of the emergency in which the nation was engulfed. It has been the practice from time immemorial that when any state, or regions of states, suffered a calamity with which they were not able to cope, the Federal government has always furnished succor and temporary relief. In line with this policy, President Coolidge dispatched Mr. Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, to dispense national aid to the sufferers of the flooded area, deluged by the overflow of the Mississippi River. The depression which Roosevelt inherited, was not of local but national origin. Indeed, Mr. Hoover himself explained that the cause was world wide. The depression acquired a magnitude and momentum wholly beyond the power of states of municipalities to control. Federal relief was the only available remedy. When the depression is lifted and the necessity of relief reduced, so that it can be handled locally, all are agreed that the burden should be shifted from Federal to local shoulders. stated that as soon prefief and unemployed the states where resides, they belong.

When the depression is lifted and the necessity of relief reduced, so that it can be handled locally, all are agreed that the burden should be shifted from Federal to local shoulders. But when President Roosevelt engaged to put this shift of burden into execution, the Mayors of a hundred cities met in conference and declared that they were unable to meet the requirements at the present time. Whereupon, they were assured by President Roosevelt that American citizens would not be allowed to starve so long as the Federal government was able to prevent that calamity by direct or indirect relief.

Whereupon, they were assured by President Roosevelt that American citizens would not be allowed to starve so long as the Federal government was able to prevent that calamity by direct or indirect relief. The Negro is keenly interested in this question. He constitutes a disproportionate number of those on the unemployment list and the relief roll. He will be the last to be absorbed in industry, if and when the industrial recovery takes place. Under Federal control of the relief fund, the black contingent has shared with the whites with at least some semblance of equality. It will be recalled that one of President Hoover's chief claims upon the support of the Negro vote in 1932 was that while in charge of the flood relief in the Mississippi VaKey, he insisted that the Negro should receive fair and equitable treatment. Secretary Ickes and Mr. Hopkins, who are in charge of the Federal project, both by way of administering relief and affording public work for the unemployed, have and do stoutly maintain that their offices have been operated without prejudice or partianity on account of race or color. Their claims are substantially supported by the relative number of those listed on public relief and public works. Should this burden of relief and unemployment be shifted to the states, the heaviest weight would fall upon the South which is least able to sustain it.

Their claims are substantially supported by the relative number of those listed on public relief and public works. Should this burden of relief and unemployment be shifted to the states, the heaviest weight would fall upon the South which is least able to sustain it. There the Negroes are found in larger proportionate numbers and subjected to differentiated treatment as part of the accepted modes of that section. He constitutes in the South the bulk of the idle and the needy. SOUTHERN STATES WILL IGNORE THE NEGROES But according to the general notions of that section, every white man must be provided for before any Negro is considered. The Negro will stand little show of fair or just distribution under local administration of relief agencies. Therefore, it behooves him to use whatever influence or persuasion the race may possess to have the disposition of funds allocated for this purpose remain in the hands of Federal authority rather than to shift it to the several states. The Negro's political, economic and social progress has been due, mainly, to the aggrandishment of Federal power over states rights. It was by the exercise of national, and not local power, that the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were enacted. The spirit and intent of these amendments- as far as they have been effective, have been maintained by the assertion of national authority over protest of the defenders of the doctrine of states rights. The Negro becomes the beneficiary of the New Deal in that it extends Federal control to the domain of business and industry. How much better chance has the race in the Post Office, under Federal control than in the railroad, manipulated by private hands? Although Federal control may not assure him absolute equality of treatment, yet he finds a far better chance than would be his lot under provincial local proscription. The Parties are not exchanging attitudes as of the centralized authority versus states rights. The Democratic Party, which has traditionally stood for a weak central and strong local government, has become the champion of Federal control extending over a wider and wider field of industrial and economic life. On the other hand, the traditional Republican Party of which ex-President Hoover is the titular head and orthodox spokesman, is not clamoring for the lessodox of centralized control and returning to states rights and local sovereignty. Between the two schools of contention, the Negro has no choice. Every consideration or enlightened self-interest allignes him on the side of centralized authority as advocated by the New Deal. These tubular instruments are mechanically designed for signals of warning instead of pitch-pipes for a midnight brass band. Motorsists who practice such abuses and, seemingly, have not the ability to think of the tremendous harm and annoyance caused by such, should be made to be considerate of others. A few stiff fines would do much to alleviate this unnecessary noise after midnight which is so detrimental to a good night's rest. Citizens should protest long and loudly until the ears of our city officials have been reached and some action is taken to curb this practice.

ROOSEVELT HAS SEEMED FAIR AND IMPARTIAL CHRISTMAS 2023 By FLOYD J. CALVIN Italy Is Squeezed. The war in Ethiopia, now in its ninth week, is taking a new turn, Italy is being "squeezed" by other nations—51 of them—not directly involved in the conflict. How comes it, then, that Italy is being squeezed, not by her foe, which she seeks to sujugate, by "outsiders" who apparently have nothing to do with the fight? If a Rip Van Winkle who fell asleep, at the turn of the present century could suddenly awake, he would doubtless be puzzled by this present European and East African situation. But those who lived through the World War and its aftermath are breathlessly awaiting developments each day, to see if the ideal of the "New Internationalism" will survive The point is, Italy herself helped to found the League of Nations, by which, it was hoped, such needless adventures as Mussolini is now embarked upon could be prevented. The League States agreed if any member violated the rules of the covenant, the other members would be obliged to combine aganist the aggressor member and attempt to strangle him back to reason—if such an anomalous statement may be permitted. Now Italy finds herself on the opposite side of the fence from her sister members of the league. Pressure is being applied to ston Mussolini by cutting off certain necessary implements of war. Mussolini, so far, is defiant, but the odds are against him. They are 51 to 1. As league sanctions were applied, Ethiopia began a determined counter attack. "Ethiopians Repel Foe at Sasa Bane. Massacring Many; Capture 63 of 70 Trucks in Ambush and Kill Occupants, the Survivors Fleeing." This news within three days after the league swung into action. Indeed, It is being squeezed both ways. Brisbane Travels. The notoriously prejudiced Arthur Brisbane, chief Hearst editorial writer, is off on one of his frequent tours. Going south from Washington, Brisbane observes: "Two small girls have just seen Washington's new giant buildings, of beautiful marble granite. And, next morning, a Negro cotton picker's cabin with loose boards replacing windowpanes long since gone, and a roof that could not keep out rain. You think of the difference between those t h a t spend and those that earn." What Negroes will think of is the fact that Arthur Brisbane never sees anything good or decent they do or represent. This conceived Nordic, glorying in the whiteness of his skin because it is white, and hating all other peoples who are not like himself, is the arch-enemy of tolerance, good will, and the principles which will one day make this country really safe for all the people. On this point Brisbane quotes his favoriteae biologist: "If you made all men really equal, maintained the unfortunate, unfit, well fed, plentifully breeding, with scientific medical care to keep their innumerable children alive, you would breed a great nation of morons." Arthur Brisbane worships the God of Might. He believes that Might makes Right. He is not impressed when the humble and lowly plead for an opportunity to live. This country is fortunate, indeed in that it is not being run by thinkers of the Brisbane type. New Market Guide The importance of the Negro market is shown by the inclusion of the percentage of Negro population in cities listed in the Market Guide for 1936 just published by Editor and Publisher. To illustrate, let us quote the Guide on Montgobery, Alabama, located in Montgomery County: "Population: (1930) U S. Census, County 88.61; city corporate limits: 66.078." suburban area included: 300,000. Retail Trading Area: radius in miles, north, 50; south, 50; east, 50; west, 50; most important cities and municipalities in this area are: Selma Troy, Dothan, Greenville. Analysis of City Population: Native White, 60 per cent; Foreign Born, 7.8 per cent; Negroes, 38.2 per cent. Families 13,000; Dwellings, 12,000. It is interesting to note that Wilberforce, Ohio, is the only Negro community mentioned in the Guide, although it is not mentioned as a Negro community; and it is also interesting to note that the Atlanta Daily World is ignored in listing Atlanta, Georgia, daily newspapers. Harlem fares better than any other Negro district in the Guide, Eighth Avenue and 125th Street, Lenox Avenue at 125th, 135th, and 145th Streets are listed under "Principal Shopping Districts of Manhattan." The Market Guide is "The space buyers' key to 1.500 city and town markets in the United States and Canada," and "a service to general advertisers, advertising and sales executives, advertising agencies and commercial organizations. --- Important Critics Speak "Stage." the high class (thirty-five cent) "magazine of after dark entertainment," published in New York. carries some interesting comments on "our group" on Broadway. James Reid Parker, in the October number, said of Ethel Waters: "Her genial presence enlivens the goings-on at the Winter Garden to a high degree, especially when she undertakes rhythmic eccentricities of "Hottentot Potentate'." In the November number, Marcia Davenport and Ruth Woodbury Sedgwick, writing on "Porgy and Bess" in an article entitled "Rhapsony in Black." say: "A few minutes after the curtain rises on Porgy and Bess the secure realization overtakes the listener that he is hearing an opera. Never mind at the moment whether it is American, Negro. Folk, or otherwise, catalogued. It is opera. It has a chemical quality of conviction and genuineness and importance, a strong underlying security in its creation by a composer of genius and honesty and skill." BOOKS C. G. Woodson says that the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History is increasing interest in the dramatization of the Negro. Recently the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has been called upon for assistance in the study of the Negro and the drama. At present as many as five persons are producing dissertations in this field. Three of them are white. This does not mean that the Negro is not interested in himself, but that he has not awakened as rapidly as some of our white friends to realize the usual possibilities in this sphere. The field has long been neglected and persons in quest for new tasks find this work very inviting. All of these writers, however, do not approach the task from the same point of view. Two investigators are making a special study of the Negro's own effort to dramatize his history, and this research has resulted in a collection of more than one hundred and fifty plays of this kind. Others are being discovered, and will add further to the story of the Negro in the drama. Here the Negro must become busy himself, however, that this phase of the past may be presented in its proper light rather that distorted as so many aspects of the past of the Negro have been by writers of other races. It should be noted, however, that in spite of this activity most of these persons concerned with the Negro in the drama restrict themselves mainly to America. They are not directing sufficient atten BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Observations on the Passing Parade BY CHARLES M. THOMAS Observations on the Passing Parade BY CHARLES M. THOMAS ROOSEVELT or RELAPSE People unfamiliar with political history wonder why the G.O.P. fails to present any program in its opposition to the re-election of President Roosevelt. They as well as the G.O.P. may not know it but the United States has passed out of the wet-diaper stage which brought the G.O.P. into existence, just as it passed out of the stage in which the old Federalist and later the Whig party came into power. Although Hoover claimed to represent "rugged individualism" by which men did what their abilities and will made possible, he was acting as a "collectivist" because he had to as chief executive of a nation of people who had become complexly interrelated. It must be remembered that Mr. Hoover was actually a Democrat, chosen by the G.O.P. because he had the best selling points for votes. Party labels mean little when a nation changes its political-economic life. So Senator Borah is exactly the kind of Republican that Webster was when he hoped to be chosen as presidential candidate, a democratic-republican because he senses the drift but does not understand the basic forces. President Roosevelt, however, is just the man needed for a transition stage in national life and polity. He knows how to "state a case" so that the people feel that he expresses their fundamental aim for social security. He dares to act and experiment. He dares to take the lead. He believes in America and in himself. He is actually the chief-executive and speaks to Congress as for the whole people and their welfare rather than for some special interests, or because of some outworn platitudes. He has the wisdom to take advice from men and women who know political history and the effects of the social tion to the Negro as he has figured in the drama in Europe. Because of the prominence of the Negro in the medieval, ancient and modern times, he figured in the drama of the city-states of Italy, especially Venice, as is evidenced by Othello, which was based on a novel written by Cinthio. Bickerstaffe, Cumberland and Southerne, Sterne, Browning and others in England took up the same theme. Unusually interesting is the Negro in the earlier romances such as the Song of Roland, Arthurian Romances, and the Knights of the Round Table, popular mainly on the European continent The managers of our present-day theaters catering to Negroes might well direct attention to the use made of the Negro in the Spanish theater of the seventeenth century as it was dominated by Lope de Vega and Calderon. In almost all of their plays the Negro was staged to represent the Oriental element in the drama as the Spanish understood the civilization of Ethiopia, and its contact with other countries around the Mediterranean. The Spaniards, like other Europeans, made use of the story of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon. In the Spanish plays of the seventeenth century, moreover, the Negroes were staged as popular musicians, bringing to Spain an impetus to art which was gladly welcomed in that quarter. We should take note also of the fine work which is being done, and that it may be further extended the public should give honorable mention to those who have seriously taken up this task. We should note the collection by Alain Locke and Montgomery Gregory entitled "Plays From Negro Life;" the popular plays of Randolph Edmonds, of Dillard University, and the collection made available by Willis Richardson under the title of "Plays and Pageants from the Life of the Negro." Other plays, separately printed, have been of much service in working toward the same end. In Mrs. Maud Cuney-Hare's book titled "Negro Musicians and Their Music," moreover, there is also a great deal about the Negro in the drama, especially in the musical comedy. The history of the Negro in music cannot be written without bordering upon and giving considerable space to what he has done in the dramatization of his own life. Most of this runs into what may be considered caricature, but the public will enjoy Mrs. Hare's summary of the careers of such persons as Ernest Hogan, Robert Cole, Rosamond Johnson, George Walker and Bert Williams. Of many others who have undertaken the dramatization of a different sort, this book treats in detail and will prove to be a most informing production. It is very significant that Gertrude Parthenia McBrown, in a collection of children's poems, "The Picture Poetry Book" has undertaken to make these poems dramatic, and the illustrations by Lois Mailou Jones are worked out with that same thought in mind. Children will enjoy reading these productions and will easily find themselves dramatizing them spontaneously in their own way. Great credit is due the authors and the publishers for beginning the production of this juvenile literature which has long been in demand. Negroes are actors to the manner born. Why not start them in this direction when they are young? Mr. Richardson with his assistance of Mae Miller has just produced another collection of plays entitled "Negro History in Thirteen Plays." This last mentioned production undertakes to connect the little theater movement more closely with the effort to popularize the study of the Negro as the task sciences and psychology, thus keeping abreast of the current. He has caused to be enacted a mass of correlated legislation which alters the complex relations brought into play by our industrial progress as it has become an integrated system of people made one body by modern communication. To-day, "men expect the State to do for them what ought to be done but they can not do for themselves," and that is true democratic governmental philosophy, long ago laid down by the venerable Dr Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook. Fortunately there is not a man acceptable to the G.O.P. or any other party who represents "collective initiative" as does Franklin D. Roosevelt. Those who do represent it in other parties, lean too far "left" for American people or affairs. The sensitive social conscience of President Roosevelt leads him to preserve the occultations from "Right" to "Left" vital to keeping national balance in this age of accelerated social movement in America. Rigidity would mean revolution, for capital is too resourceful to stand depletion and the people too wade awake to stand a return to former methods of "devil take the hindmost." Taking a long view of political history as we did when we predicted the election of Calvin Coolidge, even when he was just Governor of Massachusetts, and later of Herbert Hoover because the people had confidence only in an engineer who might rescue them from the "normalaley" with which the G.O.P. had oiled its way into power, we now say to the voters of this country. "IT IS ROOSEVELT or RELAPSE!" We are moving as in a national airplane, through bad weather and change of pilots while flying will make happy landing impossible. has been undertaken by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. These playwrights have made the book conform in every respect with its title. In the first place the book undertakes to dramatize the history of the Negro in Africa. It chooses as the ideal for Africa- Samory, the founder of the Wasulu Empire in the Soudan, the African patriot, who organized his people for the defense of their native soil and combatted the French in the Soudan for more than a generation. Next comes the dramatization of Menelik as the savior of Abyssinia, the great Emperor of that country and the hero in the annihilation of the Italians in Adowa, as a result of which Ethiopia became an independent nation. Taking up the role of the Negro Europe, one of these playwrights presents the Elder Dumas in France, dramatized in all of the color of the Latin atmosphere. Presenting another aspect of the history of the Negro the authors have dramatized his role in America with plays on Crispus Attucks, suffering the martyrdom in the Boston massacre; Nat Turner leading his people in the tragic movement for freedom; William and Ellen Craft, making the dash from slavery to freedom; Sojourner Truth, dealing a death blow to the institution of slavery; Frederick Douglass, the emancipated slave, demonstrating from the rostrum what the bondman was and what, with opportunity he could become. In these dramatizations, moreover, other parts of America in which the Negroes have conspicuously figured have not been neglected. There is one plav based upon the insurrection in Haiti under the title of "Genifrede" the daughter of Toussaint Louverture, and still another dealing with that same movement for liberation entitled "Christophe's Daughters." Approaching nearer our day, Willis Richardson has projected in play the dashing campaign conducted by Antonno Maceo in the destruction of the Spanish power in Cuba. Evidently, then, every phase of the history of the Negro, both in Africa, Europe and America has been touched. While these play-wrights have not reached the high level of those who master the mechanics of the stage and may not have portrayed every important aspect of the past of the Negro, they have nevertheless set a standard which will do much in directing attention to this inviting field. —C. G. WOODSON.

An Explanation -- and On with the News By VIVIAN TURNER Hello, everybody! I guess you're wondering what happened to this column last week. Just a little mix-up in type setting. Those of you who know how the newspaper is set up can surely sympathize when an error occurs like this. Bear with us and excuse us this time. My co-workers in charge of this department promise that this will not occur again. To go back to the happenings of last week—the holiday weekend: Wednesday evening, the Musso! Wednesday evening the Mu-so-Lit Club entertained at the Lincoln Colonnade with a barn dance. What fun! Somehow these enjoyable informal affairs are becoming very popular. Ginghams and general utility frocks, dainty and very pretty were worn by the ladies while overalls and working clothes of every description formed the costumes of the men. The hall was artistically decorated with hundreds of cornstalks. (We wonder how many farms were raided). An interesting feature of the evening was the scramble for chickens. A large coup of chickens surrounded by cornstalks formed the center decoration of the hall. During intermission many persons entertained with special stunts and were given one of the fowls for being volunteers; then there was a general scramble for several fowls thrown from the balcony by one of the officers of the club; then finally those drawing lucky tickets were given the remaining ones. In all it was great fun. Orchids to the Mu-so-Lit Club—everyone will be looking forward to their annual "Palm Beach Dance." After the dance a bite to eat was in order, so the Green Parrot, Thomas's Luncheonette and the Capital Pleasure Club were all crowded to capacity. How many folks were blue next morning when they awakened to find such a gray sky indicating rain was on its way? Running true to form, the heavens seem to open, and did it rain! All day long, far into the night could be heard the dreary beat of the rain against the windows and roofs. Despite the rain, the "show must go on." To be frank, manufacturers are making such attractive rain clothes persons forgot the weather, donned their caps, capes and goloshes and wended their way various places. Yours truly motored to Baltimore to see the clash of the might: Morgan football team and that of Virginia State, two undefeated teams of this year. And did they play? Rain, water, and mud meant nothing. They ploughed through it all with Morgan coming out quite far in lead. Bugle Field was crowded to its capacity which showed the popularity of these teams. After the game, we had the pleasure of having dinner with Mrs. Ruth Shipley. By the way—you all know that Mrs. Shipley, a charming "school marm" of Baltimore and also interested in the popular Fowler's drug store in that city, is quite well-known here in the District. She hopes to send invitations in a couple of weeks to her many friends here announcing the opening of her dining room in the Hotel, York, which has been beautifully remodelled recently.

The people of Baltimore will also welcome its opening. Saw also the winsome Miss Fannie Howard. She lamented missing the Atlantic City game but was content to eat dinner as guest of Miss Etta Burwell and her fiancée, who will soon be blamed. Between rains we said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Small; to Mrs. Edna Deaver McCormick; to California, who is still in Baltimore visiting her mother; to the well-known politician and business man Tom Smith who is the picture of health and looking fine after his recent eye operation. The operation was quite a success At the game, we saw our own Dr. William H. Greene ready to leave for Atlantic City for the game that evening between Howard and Lincoln. "Stud" is a great lover of the sport and a stunning fan for Howard, win or lose. He made the game and reports a fine time, though the familiar faces were few and far between. Mrs. Sara Spencer's Washington's home was ablaze the whole week-end and her dawn dance was most beautiful and enjoyable. A long table, heavily laden with all the delicacies of the season was spread in the hall for the guests. This was a predicted, for we know of Mrs. Washington's generous hospitality. Also saw at the game Ralph Matthews, esrtwhile member of the Washington, Tribune staff, but now of the Afro-American; waved to R. W. Gaddis, one of our own school teachers. Stanley Elms, Carlton Hughes, Scoot Socks, Billy Clark and Bennie Brown, Howard boys were spectators at the game and enjoyed a lively evening in various places. We wonder what will be the next most novel entertainment or dance in the city? Our hats are off to the modernistic Axe-Grinder Club. I'm thinking they have put one over on the social clubs, and the best one yet. They are giving a closed dance at Crystal Caverns Friday evening. Are there bids? I say there are—swanky telegrams from the social department of the Western Union delivered by messengers. Now how good is that? Hold your breath now I haven't related all. If you have no car, they are seeding special cars to your home for you on the night of the dance. Give the boy, a great big hand folks, for they really deserve it. I hardly know what I will have to relay to you after the dance, as surprises come fast and often. Watch for developments. Everyone is congratulatlw Hrs. Enda Perry of 1751 U Street, Northwest. Why and for what did you ask? All you need to do is to order one of those delicous boxes of homemade candy from her, take one bite and you will know the answer to your query. Mrs Perry makes the candy to order—and is keeping extremely busy trying to deliver on time. Orchids to you Edna—soon we hope to see the name over a successful candy shop. A most colorful banquet was given on last Saturday evening at the Whiteclaw Hotel by Tiffany Toliver, manager of the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery Corporation to the undertakers of this city. Mr. Toliver acted as master of ceremonies and introduced the following speakers: John R. Hawkins, Toliver by the Lincoln Memorial John T. Rhines, Thomas Fracier, and Charles Thomas. A gold medal for his faithfulness and efficient service was awarded Mr. Toliver by the Lincoln Memorial Centery Corporation.

Her guests were Mr. and Mrs. William Miner, Mr. and Mrs. George Latimore, Mr. and Mrs. John Pye, Mr. and Mrs. Cole of Annapolis, Mc. Attorney and Mrs W. I. Bake, Mrs. Florence Marshall and Mr. Peter Glascoe. Fall candles lighted the very attractively set table. Printed green and red menus graced each plate.

Jackson, Miss Beatrice Crowwell and Mrs. Mae Johnson PEARLIE'S PRATTLE A Washington couple (high in the city's affairs, and parents of small, darling children) are wondering what to do with their "bar." Hereforest, they have been meeting and greeting their friends under. But, children are smart these days, and the couple's brightest son, somehow, discovered that it was not milk or even tea or coffee that filled the glasses in the cellar. He did not exactly know what it was. But he thought of course, that it must be something "awfully nice" or Mother and Father would never give it to their friends. So one day while Dad was still at the oce and Mother was making a neighborly call, Little "Mr. Bright Fellow" hurried to the cellar, filled a glass with anisette and offered it to Mr. Preacher who was making a pastoral call. (Notice particularly that I did not say the good man took it). Somebody really ought to tip "Musolitch" off. (She is the chicken, that Mrs., Mattie Campbell Lee of Seaton Place won at the enjoyable Mu-Co-Lit Club Barn Dance). She is letting herself get fatter and fatter every day. And with each extra pound she puts on, the hungry look in Mrs. Lee's husband's eyes grows wider and more pronounced. Now, if poor little "Musolitch" could only keep herself thin, she would not seem half as attractive, dressed up in a roasting pan. And her days on this earth might even be much longer. But as sleek and as fat as she looks today, there is really, no telling what minute she will go the way of "Sir Thanksgiving Turkey." When the dressmaker designed the sky-blue organdie gown that lovely Helene Brooks (daughter of an Adjudicator in the U. S. Government: Service) wore to the Bachelor-Benedict dance, she must have had one idea in her head (and 'twas surely all about ruffles). For, after she had fastened hundreds of tiny ruffles on the skirt, and too many to count on the bodice, there still were dozens more "frilling" around in her mind. So she took bits of the pale blue organdie and fashioned a warm little muff. Then, she tacked the rest of those ruffles on the front of it. And Helene plus all the ruffles made an ever so pretty picture. If you could go through life, without sleeping — but you can not. So, although Miss Emily Baer (just back from a Thanksgiving visit to New York) wanted to spend every minute on Broadway she had to hunt up Harlem every now and then in order to snatch a nap. Emily's mother, Mrs. Louise Baer, had come from Williamsport, Pa., to meet her. And with the aid of another relative, who resides in gay New York, the two of 'em promptly proceeded to view every bright spot around. Emily is now back at her desk (she is a clerk in the Washington schools) and what she does not know about "Porgy," "Dead End," "Jumbo," and two or three other big shows, would not fill a thimble. So, if you happen to run across Emily when you are trying your best to make haste, do not let her start narrating the events of her recent New York trip. There's something romantic about a candle-lighted dining room. If you do not believe it, take one long, dark winter evening and two tall, pinkish candles. Arrange the blazing tapers in new-fashioned, flower-niled holders and set them (properly spaced), on a well-laid dinner table. Seat a man and a maid at opposite ends of the shining board. He, in dinner coat, of course, she, in fluffy, ruffly chiffon; or maybe, trailing velvet. And if the rays of the candles are pink enough and the hearts of the couple are warm enough, a pretty romance will burst into bloom. Twit it twice myself, but it did not work either time. There was a reason, of course. You have got to have a heart to start with, and the thing in my breast could never qualify because it is only a plain old gazard. Mrs. Annie R. Watson of 1408 Hopkins Street, Northwest must know where there is a "wishing-well." A few short months ago she was hoping that Junior (small son of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Lancee McKnight) would soon have a baby sister to play with. And now look. On Thanksgiving day, Mrs Watson herself, Miss Lillian Davis (and her sister) and Attolney and Mrs. Arbrose Shief motored to Media, Pennsylvania to see the wee bit of a girl Mrs. Watson was wishing for. If you are anxious to know how many years it takes to make a lovely lady old, do not bother to old the venerable mother of Judge Armond Scott. For although that dear, little body has had many a happy birthdays at Thanksgiving time, she is, still ninety-three years young. So, of course, she HOW LULU BROWN WON THE TOWN OH LULU BROWN SHE'S AS DARK AS A HOUN! ALL THE BOYS MAKE FUN OF ME, I'M SO DARK. HONEY, AINT YOU EVER HEARD OF PALMER'S SKIN SUCCESS?

There is a lot of pretty chatter going the rounds about hats. It all started with Mrs. M. S. Whitfield of 1716 Eighth Street, Northwest. She went to New York and — but it is too long a tale for me to tell. Besides, it is really a treat to watch Mrs. Whitfield herself, as she unfolds the dramatic plot. It has happened again. (I mean another wedding at the Washington's of 25 R Street, Northwest.) A few short months ago 'twas petite Theresa, who went smiling to the altar with Leon Galloway. And the other day Clarence (Theresa's older brother) went to an attractive home in Colesville Md., where lived the lovable lass named Clara (Smith). He clasped his Clara by the hand, and with the aid of a preacher, soon turned her into a bride. Mrs. Georgia Lee, wife of William I. Lee (prominent in civic, legal and fraternal circles) will hardly write a letter to Santa Claus (she will probably leave that for "Billie" her fine young son to do). But if she does decide to pen one and itemize her wishes, here is hoping she will put at the head of the list "one brown print dress." And here's hoping further that when Santa scouts around and finds it, it will be as smart and truly becoming as the pretty brown print she wore to a recent "Harvest Home." It is always difficult to refuse any request Mrs. Blanche Hollandand of Fairmont Street may make (on account of that sweet, disarming smile of hers) "Lut, if she ever asks me to "read a poem" or something on a program she is arranging, I will tell her "No" if it slays me. For, if she really wants her program to make a definite hit, there would be no better way to do it than for Mrs. Hollandand, herself" to get right up and deliver our own swell brand of reading. And if she is too busy to do so she can call on her smart little son, who is rapidly learning to be an interesting elocutionist like his lovely mother before him. THANKSGIVING VISITORS Mrs. E. H. Morton, 421 First Street, Northwest, entertained many out of town visitors at her home, Thanksgiving Day.

The Howard Law School which for more than 40 years has been housed in a three-story building in downtown Washington will move on the university campus during the Christmas holidays, V. D. Johnston, treasurer of Howard University, told The Tribune this week. The building to be occupied by the law school was formerly used for the university dining hall and home economics department. Since the new girls' dormitories were erected, the dining halls have been housed in them, leaving nothing in the building but the department of home economics, which is still located in the building.

The department of home economics will still maintain its quarters on the third floor of the building until some suitable place has been found to accommodate them. The rest of the building will be taken up by class rooms, library, office, studies, lounging rooms, etc.; for the law school.

JOLLY CLUSTER CLUB Miss Alva Jackson entertained the Jolly Clusters at the club's annual mother and daughter banquet at the residence of Miss Jackson, 78 R Street, Northwest. The guests were: Mrs. E. Lowry and Catholean Lowry; Mrs. F. Wallace and Carol by Acting Dean William E. Taylor, who, after assuming his duties as dean, in September, immediately sought new and larger quarters for the school to relieve the congested conditions at the present location. Students at the law school welcome the move, pointing out that it is more convenient since many of them live on the campus and take their meals in the university dining, halls. It will also save transportation costs which was necessary to go from the dormitories to the law school at 420 Fifth Street, Northwest. Protest Filed The plan has consistently been protested by students in the undergraduate school at Howard University, who had petitioned the Board of Trustees for use of the building as a student union building. Bringing of the law school to the campus was also opposed by the undergraduates on the ground that the large space formerly used for the dining hall is now being used for a dance hall and will deprive the students of a place to hold their dances. Treasurer Johnston rebutted that argument by stating that dances will be held in the university gymnasium, which is the custom in the majority of schools and colleges. This plan, however, is expected to meet with objection from the Department of Physical Education which has religiously forbidden anyone entering upon the gymnasium floor with shoes on. If the floor is waxed before the dance, and cleaned up after the dance, according to Johnston, there should be 'no objection to the use of the gymnasium for dancing.

The case was tried by the law firm of Lawson and Berry last Wednesday. November 27, and resulted in a hung jury. Aed's attitude on the stand was hostile and defiant under the cross examination of Attorney Belford V. Lawson. His witnesses were Leroy Betz and Granville Hill, whose memories were bad and whose testimony was conflicting, resulting the inability of the jury to agree Community Incensed Mr. Aed has made no effort whatever to compensate the widow Mrs. Green, who is unemployed. He is represented by Attorney Bart Clines and Mrs. Green is represented by the law firm of Lawson and Berry. It is the belief of many people that William Green was not accidently shot and the attitude of George Aed and his witnesses tends to corroborate this belief which has incensed the feeling of the entire community. Date for a new trial in the case will be set by Justice Peyton Gordon who presided at the first court hearing in the suit for $10,000 damages.

R. in Island Schools Returning with a 42-pound amber jack and a 26-pound barracuda which he caught, Congressman Arthur W Mitchell, arrived in New York City Saturday at noon after a six-weeks' vacation in the Virgin Islands, Trimadiz, and other Islands of the West Indies. Mr. Mitchell is an enthusiastic fisherman and was particularly pleased with his catch. The congressman was met at the pier by his wife and nieces from Connecticut and a delegation of New York citizens, headed by Casper Holstein, president of the Virgin Island Congressional Council. Mr. Mitchell expressed himself as being much pleased with the work being done by Governor-General Cramer and said that the people of St. Croix especially were much better under the New Deal. He told Mr. Holstein that his work in purchasing a large plantation and operating it on a scientific basis was the most constructive thing a native of the Islands has done. The congressman, himself, a former school teacher, made a tour of all schools on the island and said that he was surprised to find only two pictures of President Roosevelt on view in the schools and none of Negroes who had achieved fame in various lines of endeavor. He said he immediately got in touch with Dr. Carter G. Woodson, head of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and asked that he send, at the congressman's expense, a complete set of photos of prominent Negroes together, with brief biographical sketches. *Mr. Mitchell said that Governor Cramer gave a reception in his honor and expressed deep interest and concern in plans to make the native populace self-supporting and economically independent. Congressman and Mrs. Mitchell left immediately for Washington. SHOOTS MAN SHE SAYS AT. TACKED HER GOLDSBORO, N. C.

Allison, Jr., noted figure about town and Dr. James P. Jones, well known chirropodist and society man, were the two victims of the Grim Reaper. Allison, for the past 16 years a probation officer attached to the Court of General Sessions, died early Tuesday morning, after a fingering illness. He was about 45 years of age and resided at 185 West 15th Street. Dr. James P. Jones, noted local figure, died at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning at Morrisania Hospital. Death came as the result of gangrene infection setting in following an injury to his leg which he received Sunday on the elevated railway platform at 167th Street and Jerome Avenue. He was 61 years of age. The accident which eventually resulted in Dr. Jones's death, is said to have occurred Sunday morning.

Rushed to the Morrisania Hospital, he was found to have sustained leg injuries. Despite the efforts of physicians, gangrene set in, resulting in his death.

A graduate of the New York School of Chiropody, he had been employed at the Hanover National Bank for the past 42 years. 25 SENTENCED IN SUPREME COURT Twenty-six criminal offenders were sentenced by Justice Daniel W.

Have you ever been in the country in a growing corn patch and noted the green, waving stalks lift up their arms to greet a May shower falling like sparkling diamonds from the sky? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 6. 1935. The Voice of Alexandria By EDDIE NEWMAN Reviewing the Dunbar-Tech Game Hello Fans... At this exciting game, just what two hearts, one a Washington lass, the other an Alexandrian, beat twice as fast whenever number seventy - two (Buddie Ford) got hold of the pigskin? We noticed the Washington heartbeat using field glasses in order to get a better view. An orchid to the lad for his velly swell playing... FLASH... On the sidelines we find the following hometowners, Morris Murray and his out-of-town better half... We spied John Stanton near the bench, wishing that he was out on the field. He is a former captain of the hed and blacks if you recall. The cute Helen Lewis standing with a bunch of girls rather than stand with her very noisy heart interest, James Watts. Just why this lad would lead Cardozo yells at a game between two other schools is a mystery to yours truly. .FLASH... We wonder why Miss LaVerne Evans, a summer visitor to many of our parties tried to hide in the crowd, so that the tall and outstanding figure of Rudy Staples could not see her? LaVerne, please explain, since this lad seems to be the number one taxi on R Street... Clinton Ball and his heart throb. Miss Rebecca Russ, were also seen enjoying the ums and downs of each team... One Nite With the Kiddies Well, we have covered almost everything at our local show palace except a Kiddie Revue, and so here we are not so many rows back attempting to bring you what? what and who is who...FLASH... Your time of action last Wednesday nite. The show under the complete control of your local songbird, the lovely Lauretta Johnson. An orchid to the opening scene in which a group of kiddies, none of them over seven, were seen dressed in an old southern fashion and picking cotton from stage made cotton bushes. And next, give orchids to a vely cute little miss, not a bit over seven, for her toe dancing and vocal restraint. FLASH...To the directress, Miss Johnson goes this notice. In your next revue let's not overwork your brother Joe, too much. Granted that the lad is good and is able to fill in at every little space, but let's not have so much of him on one show. Thanks. Thought the Anderson lad much better than his partner in a tap duet. Would like to hear more of him. FLASH...We wonder was it just the proper thing for the show to be advertised as "Way Down South" and then after the first scene, go Broadway, with modern jazz and everything? Seems like the plot should have been built around the cotton pickers and their mummy songs. Could not understand just why some of our hometowners booed one little girl on the show, when at the moment she was not an amateur but an entertainer trying to show them a pleasant evening. They rate scallions in this writer's opinion. And now forgetting a very pleasant evening at the hometown theatre, let this scribe advise you to come out for yourselves and get a peep at what Mr. Dove and Miss Johnson has to offer in the way of a Kiddie Revue. It's really swell entertainment. And now your commentator takes you direct to the ringside of probably the gayest party in many a moon in old Alexandria. ...Yowsir; the evening was filled with merriment so help me, so help me. FLASH ... The party was given by The Cavalier Club as a sort of post-birthday party in honor of John Stanton. Keep this in mind. FLASH ... Before going into the affair your writer must get rid of a bad taste in his mouth, and so scallions to Mr. Freddie Carter for his ill-mannered attempt to close the door in this writer's face as he entered. Such doings come under the head of bad home training or something of that order. Enough said. And now the pleasant side of the gay affair. Most of the guests were well teamed up and most of these being velly, velly friendly with everyone, which accounts for the evening of laughter. FLASH. Was quite surprised to see the present and past of Mr. Clinton Ball at the affair. The present being the lovely Rebecca Russ and the past being the now lonely Miss Marion Smith. A columnist's heart goes out to her. ...FLASH...With the heart interest. Miss Marion Murphy away William Wilson seemed to have quite a swell time with the attractive Helen Lewis. Yowsir, Hollywood kisses and everything. Also noticed Mr. Ralph Lane with Mary Hancock out of the picture for the evening, having a jolly good time with Miss B. Branson during a dance. Too bad that illness prevented the lovely Mary from being present...FLASH... We note around the floor with interest, that we have with us the former Miss Florence Lackett, spending a velly swell evening with her new boss. Also we see John Starton spending about all of the evening with Miss Marion Jackson. Touching on this, we wonder whether it was the proper thing to do, since the party was given in honor of him. It seemed like the lad should have danced with the other girls a bit and let the boys dance with Miss Jackson a little. Not the human thing to do if I may be allowed to say so. Enough hinted ... FLASH ...Enough hinted ... FLASH Noticeed the lovely Julia Wilson sporting a new pair of eyes (glass With Ye Old Cavaliers es) which makes her alręs. lively feature all the more attive. We see Buck Beander and Marie Johnson chatting together like two magpies...The evening diet consisted of block ice-cream, jello and cake.

The reply was made by Geo. K. Hunton, managing editor of the Interracial Review, 220 West 42d Street, in a letter to Floyd J. Calvin, explaining the stand of The Review, a Catholic publication, which had been mentioned in an editorial by Mr. Calvin.

W.—Will my boy friend give me anything, and will it be all right? Ans.: Your boy friend cares a lot more about you than this other girl, and the present he'll give you for Christmas will be somewhat expensive. You'll be thrilled over this gift, but your parents won't approve of it. R. B.—Will I have any luck in getting a job in this city? Ans.: As you have always lived in that town possibilities of getting a job are very good. It appears that you'll secure a job in a filling station during the next year. H. H.

You know very well that he has to work nearly all night, and doesn't have time for other women. When he gets off at such a late hour of night, it is rather difficult for him to find a way to get home which makes him have to stay, out nearly all night sometimes. J. B. S.—I am a girl of 17 and I would like to know if I can get some place to stay? Ans: If you desire a private home to stay in I suggest that you seek it from your local church. However, a private institution would be the most desirable place for you since you are unmarried. Your physician will be glad to recommend a place for you. C. A. L.—I would like to know why my husband has been treating me so coldly lately? Ans: Because there seems to be another woman in his life now. He couldn't find the happiness and companionship at home that he desired, which made him seek it elsewhere. You should make a few changes in your attitude if you expect to hold him.

Cars To Be Sold With 72-Hour Money Back Guarantee ASK FOR DETAILS RIGHT TO SPANK STUDENTS IS SOUGHT SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL J. C. WRIGHT TO LEAVE SCHOOLS Veteran Teacher, Father of 3-Cent Carfare, to Retire This Month J. C. Wright, aged and veteran school teacher, and father of the three-cent street car fare for students in the District of Columbia, will retire from the public school system December 31, bringing to a close 37 years of service in the District public schools. The Board of Education, Tuesday afternoon, approved a recommendation submitted by Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, that the request for retirement made by Mr. Wright, be approved. Lauded By Wilkinson In submitting his recommendation, Dr. Wilkinson paid a glowing tribute to the services rendered to the school system by Mr. Wright. Appointed to service September 21, 1898. Mr. Wright has been a teacher of typing ever since, finding time in between to do research work, and make several compilations of his activities. "During his thirty-seven years of service," Dr. Wilkinson said, "Mr. Wright has followed the department of business practice through its many changing locations—old M Street High School; Douglass. Old Mott, Armstrong, Phelps, Dunbar and Cardozo High Schools. "Throughout his service Mr. Wright has maintained a very high average of efficiency, and made a distinct contribution to the business education of colored youth. Authority on D.C. Schools "Mr. Wright devoted much of his time to assembling information on the history and development of the Washington public schools, Divisions 10-13, with special reference to the secondary institutions of learning. He has published historical sketches on the growth and development of Washington public schools, Divisions 10-13, the first assistant superintendent said. Among some of the compilations made by Mr. Wright were "Dunbar and Armstrong's Contribution to the World War"; and "The Twenty-fourth Regiment of High School Cadets." He has been highly commended for comprehensive follow-up surveys of Dunbar High School Cadets for the years 1018-27, inclusive. Dr Wilkinson informed the board. Made Study Mr. Wright also made an occupational study of the graduates of the business department of the Academic High School, now the Cardozo High School, for the period 1889 to 1927. He interested himself in many civic problems, being largely responsible for the enactment by the United States Congress of its present three-cent street car fare for school children, which legislation was enacted February 25, 1831. His retirement will be a distinct loss to the public schools of Washington, Dr. Wilkinson said. Numbers Writer Finds it Pays to Tell the Truth Numbers Writer Finds it Pays to Tell the Truth RICHMOND, Va. — It pays to tell the truth. At least, it did yesterday when a woman who "told the truth" was the only person of four charged with being connected with the "numbers' racket to escape a jail sentence by Police Court Justice Elben C. Folks. Mrs. Lily Monroe, 39, of the first block of West Clay Street, readily admitted she had written in one of the books. She appeared with Chester P. Carter, 52, of 100 block of South Street, and Henry Wade, 33, of the 500 block of North Second Street, who pleaded not guilty to the same charge. "I'll have to fine you $100 and costs." Justice Folks said, "but I am going to suspend your jail sentence for telling the truth." Court Finds Wife Not Guilty of Cruelty Charge Jacob Jones, 1306 S. Street Northwest, charged his wife, Clara Jones, beautician, 1924 Saventeenth Street, Northwest, with cruelty charging that she threw dishes and butcher knives at his head Mrs Jones, through her attorney John H.

Indeed, the responsible nature of his work and the training, intelligence, and bearing of the man made such an appellation absurd.

He died, not at a family reunion, but at Carson's Private Hospital His home was, and is, on Jackson Street, in Brookland (where he was one of the oldest residents) rather than on Jackson Place. This latter inaccuracy may readily be understood, since one would expect to find the mythical 'Uncle' living in his shack in some out of the way Jane, designed as a 'place.' "Perhaps the concept of Uncle Albert" on "Jackson Place" was born over the typewriter in the enthusiasm of good journalism.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 PROTESTS BRING YOUNG PEOPLE TRAFFIC LIGHTS VISIT DWELLERS AT LOCAL HAZARD IN D. C. ALLEYS Mixed Group Astounded at Conditions in Hidden Streets of City The Congregational Youth's Council composed of representatives of five white and three colored Congregational churches, made a trip through some of the alleys of Washington under the personal direction of John Inlder, Alley Dwelling Authority, Sunday, November 24. The purpose of the tour was to get an actual picture of the conditions. "We were surprised to learn that over 9,000 people are alley-dwellers," Mrs. Mary Duncan, secretary to the Young People's Club of Lincoln Temple said. "It is hard to realize how so many people live under such depolarable conditions as those we witnessed on this trip. In most of the alleyes there was no plumbing or means of heat. There was widespread lack of window panes for which were substituted rags, pillows, cardboard boxes and in one place, an old door was used across the window to keep out the wintry winds. The alley dwellings were dark in the day, even after being lighted by lamps. The surroundings were littered with trash, garbage, and other filth. This shows evidence of the lack of performance of duty by the City Refuse Department." The representatives of Lincoln Congregational Temple made a report of the trip at the regular meeting of the Young People's Club last Sunday evening. "Public sentiment must be creat ed against such slums in the Nation's Capital. The club has decided to show pictures of these alleys at the church in the near future, in order that the community might have a clearer conception of the rums of Washington," said Miss Duncan. Arrested in Raids on Alleged Gaming Places The police gaming squad raided a cigar store in the 1700 block of Fourteenth Street, Northwest, Wednesday afternoon, and among a number arrested and charged with gaming were: Alvin Ryans, 36, of the 1800 block of Fifth Street, Northwest, and Sam Davis, 30, of the 900 block of P Street, Northwest. In another raid in the 900 block of Rhode Island Avenue, Northeast, police arrested several persons, among them being Kermit J. Mellette, 32, and Mary Cornelia Mallette, 28, both of the 1300 block of Girard Street, Northeast. They were charged with operating a lottery after they were alleged to have accented bets on numbers placed by policemen.

Wright, well known for his ten-year fight for reduced car fare for school children, local traffic authorities, early this week, completed installation of traffic lights at the dangerous three-cornered intersection of Florida Avenue, T Street and Sixth Street, Northwest. Mr. Wright, school teacher, 514 T Street, Northwest, in a letter to District Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, last July, cited the "appalling need for protection against impending accident at the dangerous intersection." He urged the immediate installation of traffic lights as a safeguard against loss of life and limb. Work Completed In reply to Mr. Wright's correspondence, Commissioner Hazen informed him that the matter had been referred to traffic authorities and would be taken care of in due time. Shortly afterwards, the Capital Transit Company reconstructed the layout of the street car tracks at Georgia and Florida Avenues, and more than four weeks traffic was rerouted over this dangerous intersection further imperiling the lives of pedetrians. The street car company completed its work at the aforementioned section about ten days ago. The new lights were installed late last week and began operation Monday morning. Death of Lij Yasu Seen As Aid to Selassie ADDIS ABABA (A.N.P.)—Death last week of Lij Yasu, deposed King of Ethiopia and the man who Empiror Haile Selassie most feared, is looked upon here as of more importance to the King of Kings than a successful major military engagement with Mussolini's invading forces. The deposed king, who was announced as dying of general paralysis in the royal prison at Mount Cara Mouleta where he had been confined three years, had been imprisoned a total of 19 of his 38 years. As chief pretender to the throne and leader of the Ethiopian Moslems, Yasu would have been a most useful tool in the hands of Italians, who were rumored some time ago to be plotting his escape Released. Lij Yasu might have rallied many subjects about him and, attempting to win back Selassie's crown, either split this nation's defending forces or else have aid the Italians directly.

Hawthorne's main duty is to act The recommendation was received, ed coolly by the superintendent of schools, Frank W. Ballou, who contended that there was no appropriation for an additional messenger, and that additional messenger service could only be performed by borrowing someone from the custodial service. This could not be done, he said, because it would mean that the persons left in the custodial service would be overworked. Callouses on Feet Dr. Johnson pointed out that Hawthorne was being called on to do a lot of tasks that he could not physically accomplish in a day's work, and that one messenger was not sufficient anyway for the large number of officials of the school board and the board of education. --- Star Sunday OBESON, guest star with the Shell Chateau the Beery, famous screen actor, is am.

Hawthorne's main duty is to act as messenger for the Board of Education, but is being used as general utility man by members of the school board, who number seventeen.

Members of the Board (See "WILLIAM," Page 2) THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS SPARE ROD RULE CHANGE IS ASKED Board of Education Asked to Repeal Corporal Punishment Law A stirring plea for the adoption of corporal punishment in the District public schools was made before the Board of Education at its Wednesday meeting by Dr. C. Herbert Marshall, prominent physician and president of the Rock Creek Citizens' Association. Dr. Marshall advocated the repeal of the present law which forbids the use of corporal punishment in the public schools in order that better discipline can be maintained in the school room, and that students will give the proper respect for their teachers. Teachers Attacked Several recent instances where in students have attacked teachers for correcting them were cited by Dr. Marshall, who charged that the Board of Education was partly responsible for the students' actions, when it penalized teachers for striking back, and allow the students to go with a slight reprimand. Such attitude on the part of the board swells the offending student's head, and causes not only the student to repeat the offenses in other instances, but stimulates other students into doing the same thing when a teacher is attempting to correct them. Adams Case Cited Dr. Marshall cited the penalty imposed on J. J Adams, of Armstrong High School, who was recently suspended by the board for three months for defending himself against a fighting student, and for a statement made by a board member in justifying the student's stand in the case. The physician also cited the recent case wherein a teacher was bitten by a student, and no action taken against the student. The transfer of the student to another school was a bad precedent Dr. Marshall contended, in that it swells the head of the student, and causes that student and other students to make remarks that they will repeat the offense the next time they are corrected. The case of a teacher who was struck in the abdomen recently by a student in northeast Washington was recalled by Dr. Marshall, who informed the board that in all probability the teacher will have to undergo an operation. Dr. Marshall was listened to attentively, and at the conclusion of his presentation was informed that the board would consider his appeal at an early date. Youth Runs Amuck and Goes to Prison to Serve Several Sentences John E. Proctor, 18, of the 1700 block of E Street, Southeast, was convicted of two cases of grand larceny and joyriding, in the District of Columbia Supreme Court last week, and on Wednesday was sentenced to from one to two years on each count, to run consecutively, and follow a former sentence of from one to two years. The youthful prisoner was out on probation, having pleaded guilty to robbery in 1934, at which time he was sentenced to from one to two years in the penitentiary. Two white boys, also implicated in the grand larceny and joy-riding offenses, tried to shield Proctor by testifying that he was not present with them when they committed the crimes. Only after sharp cross-examination by Justice Daniel W. O'Domoghue himself did Mahoney, one of the boys, break down and admit that Proctor was with them at the time of the larceny and did ride with them and drive the stolen car at times. It will be recalled that Proctor slipped the handcuffs off his wrist in the jail van one evening last week and made a short "get-away" into the bushes around Gallinger Hospital, four blocks away from the jail. Joseph Hodges, of Gaithersburg, a deputy United States marshal, chased the fceeing youthful prisoner and found him in hiding in the bushes. Proctor offered no resistance when caught, and the next day was convicted. He was registered as white at the jail and in the record. The Triage Now Twice Weekly, Tuesday and Friday.
